Hi,

I’m designing some process structures and i would like to build them on the
same scheme that those from system processes (Proc32 ,Fsys …), and in
particular as far as IPC is concerned (Send/Receive/Trigger …).

Where could i find information (if it is possible…) about the way these
processes do (algorihtms or so…) ?

Thanks for any kind of help.

There is information in a variety of places. Rob Krten has written
a book called “Getting Started with QNX4” that is quite good for this.

There is a library framework and sample code for writing IO managers
– plugin pieces that look like a file system – that is available
for free download, try:

ftp.qnx.com:/usr/free/qnx4/os/samples/misc/iomanager.tgz

Also, the System Architecture guide, that is shipped with the
operating system, gives a very good overview of how a QNX system
hangs together.

I need to run tcp/ip comms over an ISDN link to Svalbard. This involves a
satellite hop and thus high latencies. I gather that the effects of this can
be mitigated by messing about with window sizes.

Well, if you desire short latencies, no amount of manipulation of
window size is going to help. Making large windows will definately
help with data throughput (I think that’s what you mean by mitigate).

However, this is as far as
my knowledge goes. Can anyone point me to a suitable source of useful
information?

This is a basic data communication question. I would recommend
Data and Computer Communications by Stallings.

Also, is it possible to change the window size under QNX4
tcp/ip?

I would be surprised if it isn’t possible, however, I haven’t
personally tested it for correct operation.

You could use a PtRaw widget, and update your image
using PgDrawImage().

but they consume too much space. I’m considering trying the RtTrend

suggestions?

I want to disable Ctrl-Alt-1, 2, … on photon.

Place in your sysinit the command line
stty +noswitch" (or +nohotkey +noboot …)
before saying “ph” to start photon.
This will disable the ability to switch consoles in text mode.

For Photon this won’t work. Here you have to place
export PHWMOPTS="-S"
before saying “ph” in startup. see more nice pwm options under
help->photon->Installation->applications->pwm.

Hi,

I’m not sure I got the same problem you had. I have a 10GB HD.

After fiddling the the raw device with the “spatch” utility. I found that:

  1. The partition I just created is filled with wrong disk parameters.
  2. The second OS loader placed by “dinit” also report wrong disk parameters.

So I manually changed parameters in the partition table, then use “dinit” to
init the disk again, and then correct the parameters in the second loader.
That fixed the boot-up problem!

Hi Chris:

Thanks for the tip. I’ll file it in my references.

My problem (now solved: Thanks Alex!) was much simpler and entirely
caused by an oversight on my part.

Part of the problem was the diskset that I was using:

  • original QNX 4.25 installation diskset with v4.25A boot floppy.
    (Fsys.eide with >8.4GB HD support.)

This meant that I had to copy the newer version of Fsys.eide from
the floppy onto the hard drive after the installation, which I had
done.

What I forgot was that Fsys.eide is also bound into the boot image
/.boot, and that this is built during the installation using the
version on the hard drive (/bin/Fsys.eide) that came from the v4.25
archive, which will not recognize drives larger than 8.4GB.

Once that was pointed out, all I had to do was boot from the floppy
one more time, mount the hard drive and rebuild the boot image
using the new Fsys.eide I’d copied over earlier. Worked a charm. :wink:

I am currently using TCA (Task Control Architecture) for message passing

is there any other similar package available for other RTOS’s ,
i.e. for QNX? .

You could use the Linux srripc kernel module to provide QNX4 message
passing behaviour, and then write your application to the QNX4 API.
That would give you source code portability between the two OSs.
QNX’s IPC (and therefore the srripc Linux module) do not have the
marshalling capabilities of TCA. They only provide the low-level
synchronous communication. It will depend on what parts of TCA you
are using.

Sam, rp-pppoe won’t work under QNX since it was written for UNIX (and Linux)
and QNX is not fully UNIX compliant. I tried to compile the rp-pppoe sources
under QNX but just couldn’t there were too many unhandle kernel functiuns.
And porting the appplication would be a hughe workout!.. And we would also
need to port the Linux pppd too… So unless someones decides to do this
hughe work, the rp-pppoe client will not work under QNX… and for the
moment, I haven’t found any other PPPoE client suitable for QNX. I wish that
QNX Software Systems could make one… :slight_smile:

if I can hack something (from the RFC) before hand. Maybe I

Didn’t think there was such a server, but what do you know:

application: rp-pppoe 2.0

license: GPL
category: Console/Networking
urgency: medium

description:
rp-pppoe is a user-mode PPPoE client and server suite. It is fully
RFC-compliant and supports cookies, relay-IDs, and multiple
simultaneous PPPoE discovery phases. It is cleanly coded and fairly
efficient. If you want to experiment with PPPoE clients and need a
PPPoE server, rp-pppoe includes one.

Changes:
Inclusion of a server as well as a client in the package, ports to
NetBSD, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD, more stringent sanity checks, a fix for a
bug in which HostUniq tag did not work if access concentrator sent a
cookie, total code reorganization, and improvements to adsl-* shell
scripts.

id love to forget ped, id rather use CED from within UAE
alas, i cant right now, keeping in mind i can just about get my
head around ./configure and those 2 conf guess and what ever it was,
files that need to be replaced LOL, i DID manage last night to
compile the linux version of of UAE uae-0.7.6.tar.gz, its WAY to slow
as it CRAWLS even in piccasso4 modes through xPhoton though 8(
i also tryed to do the latest (more advanced and presumably faster)
linux version uae-0.8.15.tar.gz with no luck.

Hmm is this 0.7.6 straight compile for x11 i think (no switches),
also slow on a given real x11 linux machine (AMD-500/voodoo3-2000
in my case) or is this RTP beta xPhoton in need of some tweaking ?.

as a temp measure until a native JIT-UAE becomes available would
anyone like to try and compile the latest one and compare the speed
please, preferably porting it to native Photon, dan mentioned way back,
that one of the boys in qnx have already done this but i dont know
what version or were i might find it ?.

it doesnt need to be able to dial out from within RTP (the WinUAE
maps to the windows TCP/IP stack, so i can use web progs there)
but that too would be REALLY NICE, for now all i really need is to be
able to run this THOR email/news reader, CED and the odd shell
script at a good typeing/screen update speed, i beleave i could
share this WinUAE hardfile from within RTP so i could just boot to
winblows every now and then to send/receave email/news if needbe.

the regulars know me of old, perhaps one of you might find the time
for little old me, pritty please .

if i could get this UAE (Unix Amiga Emulator) run on RTP
and at a good speed (approaching or exeeding the WinUAE speed
would be great) i could stay in RTP to do vertually all of my
current work and perhaps format windows away forever LOL.

Hi Geoff, long time no see, how’s the mill going these days?

that problem will go away once you run photon on the host system - ie telnet
in and enter ‘ph’. then slay it. It needs one of the drivers running - can’t
remember which, shared library driver, but you can start it manually yourself
from the /etc/config/sysinit to prevent this problem reccurring.

At the moment I have Phindows 1.2 communicating to a QNX host running

or V114A Phindows would no longer connect to it. All other
functionality of the QNX Photon V114 appeared okay (e.g. you could
telnet to it, use it okay locally, ditto okay to another QNX host).

The following is shown on the Phindows window on startup:
Phindows - Accessing ip address
Phindows - Waiting on phrelay on ip address
Phindows - Rx ready
Phindows - Rx opened
Phindows - Preload fast cache
Phindows - Preload image cache
Phindows - Send connect
Phindows
Phindows - Rx connected

Then it seems to just hang… (At this point it should pop-up in
Phindows the QNX Photon login window.)

Reverting the QNX host from Photon V114 back to V113B got the Phindows
connection working again (without making any changes to the Phindows
setup).

Has any other Phindows user seen this problem. I would be keen to find
out how to fix this.

Hi All,

for all not able to read qdn.public.qrtp.os … the best way to corrupt
your
shell scripts, C sources or make files is to edit them with ‘ped’ … so
don’t
use it for the moment.

After editing the script mW95D with ped … I got that funny result:

cat mW95D

: fs-cifs file://Armin:Armin:/D /W95D user none &

: /** PhEDIT attribute block
: 0:43:default:-3:-3:0
: ** PhEDIT attribute block ends (-0000094)**/

Execution of mW95D has also curious results …

Please see a statement from Erik:

This attribute block is created by PhEdit, to remove this feature
select “Preferences” and unselect “Save and Load Styled Text”.
The text can also be removed using vi or something else.

I can’t see it wit vi …

This is used as a information block for Ped, so it knows how you
styled the document (colors, fonts, etc). From reading Mike’s posting,
it looks like this is going to be removed or changed.

?? Do I have to start ‘qnet’ before I start npm-qnet.so? If so, how do
I do this??


Basically, I need to see the QRTP machine from QNX4 machine, and vice

machine from QNX4, as //4 (provided QRTP = node4 in QNX4)?? Also, I
have a 4 node license for the QNX4 network, I suppose that we do not
need extra licenses for the QRTP network or do we??

Also, from the QNX4 machine, I update the netmap file, do my
Net.etherXXX & and I see other machines in my netmap file. The
question:

What would be the equivalent on the QRTP machine?? For example, do I
have to tell the QRTP machine who is in node1 (node 1 running QNX4) via
a netmap-like file located somewhere??

Then… I want to be able to see the QNX4 machine from QRTP.

While I understand the concepts behind the technology, I am not quite
sure how
to implement the different commands. For example, when you assume that
qnet was started… how do you do this exactly? Would I see an entry
following a ‘sin’ command? How can I tell what is running? (i.e. ‘sin’
output looks familiar, but with a different unknown flavor’.)

The other way to talk to other nodes was via TCP,
but QNX network would be better and surely faster.
To talk between process via 2 nodes, instead of building a connected socket,
setup each packet and then send a message.

Mario, pls don’t confuse our poor newbies even more.
QNET is a generic term for the QNX Network. This
term was used with QNX2 and QNX4 although their
protocols are not compatible. Likewise, Neutrino’s
protocol is not compatible, and as far as I know,
it is known as QNET.

FLEET used interchangably sometimes refers to the Fast
Load-Balancing ??? technology that was first implemented
over QNET. Basically you can have more than one hardware
network, and FLEET moves data as effectively as possible
over it. It is implemented under QNX4 and presumably
Neutrino. Here is my diagram:


QNET --------------------------> QNX2 }
QNET ------->FLEET ------------> QNX4 } All incompatible
QNET ------->FLEET ------------> Neutrino }


Am I wrong on any of this?

The only way is via TCP/IP (socket library), FLEET and QNET are
incompatible.

Mario, pls don’t confuse our poor newbies even more.
QNET is a generic term for the QNX Network. This
term was used with QNX2 and QNX4 although their
protocols are not compatible. Likewise, Neutrino’s
protocol is not compatible, and as far as I know,
it is known as QNET.

FLEET used interchangably sometimes refers to the Fast
Load-Balancing ??? technology that was first implemented
over QNET. Basically you can have more than one hardware
network, and FLEET moves data as effectively as possible
over it. It is implemented under QNX4 and presumably
Neutrino. Here is my diagram:


QNET --------------------------> QNX2 }
QNET ------->FLEET ------------> QNX4 } All incompatible
QNET ------->FLEET ------------> Neutrino }


Am I wrong on any of this?

That make sense to me, however under NTO I think they

call FLEET (as a load balancing) with another name.
